Good value for the price. Excellent step by step instructions, even down to the right screws to use, when. Suggestion to stabilize and allow it to fit under couch: Purchase "SlideGlide" 1-1/2", 33mm 4pc furniture sliders ([...]). They screw in directly to place where wheels go. Hand tighten only. Place on flat surface and turn until table stops wobbling. Will glide on non-carpet surfaces easily and fit under the couch! Very stable.

I bought this exact product in black at [...] since they were out of stock at my local staples. I found it pretty easy to put together and came with nearly all the tools you'll need (make sure to grab a philips head "cross shaped" screw driver out of your tool box first, it isn't included in the box). I got mine put together pretty quickly, and quite like it. It's perfect for what I want it for, a small desk for my laptop that I can wheel over to my bed and use the laptop while in bed without worrying about it overheating while on a blanket, or having some piece of wood attached to a pillow on my lap, which I don't find comfortable. The angle adjustments are at nearly pefect spots, but I'd like a few more adjustment spots for height, and also, and easier way to adjust the height. You have to unscrew two knobs completely to be able to raise or lower it, and then, while holding the top in that position, screw the knobs back in. I've also found that with even semi rough typing on my laptop the entire desk shakes and wobbles. If they were able to put in a brace or two somehow that would remove most of the wobble, but for this price, and it's extreme usability, and how perfect it is for what I want, I'm more than willing to put up with it. The mousing surface area does not adjust it's angle, which I find much preferable, who wants their mouse constantly sliding off the desk?My Laptop is a 13 inch HP DV3000 and the laptop portion of this desk is way more than ample in space to place the laptop, I even have room to put my targus USB numberpad next to the laptop. I'd venture to guess that you could fit even up to an 18 inch laptop. This is a laptop desk only, you wouldn't want to have to place an LCD monitor and keyboard on the desk and use it as a desktop computer desk. There are other carts that you could do that with, you just wouldn't be able to wheel it partially under your bed and use it like a hospital table.If you're looking for a small laptop desk that you can use with your bed that you don't have to actually place ON your bed, this is the BEST solution I've found yet. I highly recommend it despite it's slight flaws. The adjustments are just nit picks, the only major one is it's tenancy to wobble while typing, heck it even wobbles if I try and adjust the angle my LCD lid is open. That obviously because of it's primary design to be used as a laptop desk you can wheel partially under your bed and use like a hospital bed table. If you can afford and find an actual hospital table, that would probably be a better solution, though the angle the laptop sits at would not be adjustable.I haven't owned this item for very long, but I feel my past experiences, my capabilities both with computers, woodworking, and metal working gives me a chance to really give a review of this desk even though I haven't had it for long. All this being said, I highly recommend this product for laptop owners who like to use their laptops in bed, or have very little room for a desk. You could also use it with a couch or recliner in your living room, and not have to worry about your laptop overheating, or having your lap crowded with a plank of wood attached to a pillow, which is basically what the only competition to this desk is. At this price, I certainly recommend this as a very good buy. It is available in black if you do not like the wood finish, though I was only able to find the black at Wal-Mart so far, but it was the same price.

The way the bottom/wheels are situated I can't bring it close enough to me when I work on the couch with my laptopo-the whole purpose of buying this was to be comfortable and I have to sit up pretty close to the edge in order for this to work, so I am disappointed.
The slant feature and telesoping, makes this nice to adjust....just wish the bottom could be adjusted to accomodate my couch.
For the price this is a very good deal...just won't be using it as much as I had hoped.

I bought this product because of a need to use my laptop in other rooms. I like this table however it would be much better if it were a little sturdier. It's not bad, just could be better. The only thing I really don't like is that you have to take a screw out to raise and lower it.. not every convenient for going from one level to another quickly. Overall, I enjoy the use of the product.
